Description

Hulme Walfield Hall is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with a late 18th-century addition. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building stands three storeys high.

The entrance front has three bays, with a ground floor doorway located to the left of centre. This doorway consists of six raised and fielded panels and is framed by a classical surround with Tuscan pillars that support doserettes and an open pediment enclosing a fanlight. Flanking the doorway are sash windows with four panes by four panes, which have ashlar sills and wedge lintels. The lintels feature projecting moulded keystones, with the lintel ramping upwards to meet them.

At the first floor level, there are two similar lateral windows and a central window with three panes by four panes. The third floor has three windows, each three panes in height, all with similar lintels. An ashlar cornice runs along the top of the wall. Gable chimney stacks are positioned at either side of the building.

To the rear, there is a 17th-century two-storey wing that has been largely covered with 19th-century render.
